    Thanks Barb. What a gathering of talent! Pity you couldn't get into any of the pics, but that often happens (as I know) when you are the one with the camera! Glad you all had a good evening - I WAS thinking of you.

    Thank you for those wonderful pictures! It looks like everyone was having a good time.

    Too bad you forgot who everyone was.....that sounds like something I would do! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm not that good with names and faces, I need to meet someone a few times before I know who they are.

    Barb, thanks for posting the pictures. It was a great time and a real treat to meet so many from the board and meet and talk to the kilt makers. And Ham and Graham, your wishes were read to us by Robert of RKilts (I mistaken miscredited the reading, sorry Robert). It was great that you were there with us all in spirit. I was just wondering if you'd be posting your pictures since I forgot to bring the camera. Too bad we had to leave early; I suspect the sight of Keith doing the motions for the Unicorn song was a sight not to be missed.

    If they outlaw guns, can we go back to using swords?

    Keith - thanks for the reminder about your names! I've edited my first post. If anyone has other names to add, please let me know. And, again, I apologize for forgetting so many. I should have written them down.

    a blury unicorn

    Alas Possingk was caught but fortunately for him it's blured... unfortunately for you it's of very poor quality. Now I did have at least one beer.

    And here is the MOVE!

    I shouldn't say this...

    That is me, and I had a lot more than one beer. I understand HoseHead has the whole thing on video on his phone, it lead to quite a few laughs with my pipe band yesterday.

    Keith,

    I am intrigued! What IS The Unicorn Song, or should I not be asking in a respectable place like X Marks? Honestly, I have never heard of it, but it appears you had a lot of fun performing it!

    The unicorn song is a song abbout animals getting onto the arc:

    Here is a link to the performers web site and the song. It is only a small snipet, but you will get the idea.

    Hamish, it's actually a children's song, but it makes for a great sing along in the pub.

    Here are the lyrics: http://www.thebards.net/music/lyrics...orn_Song.shtml
    you can listen to the song as well on the top of that page, but the Irish Rovers (a Canadian band) version is the best. You can hear a snipet of it here: http://www.amazon.com/-Best-Irish-Ro...962401?ie=UTF8
